Mark your calendars - Teacher training on Aug. 28, 11:30am. Meet in the Children's Chapel.


Please also consider signing up your family to be Greeters. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet other members, to let your children help pass out bulletins, present the offering and help count attendance. Children love helping with these "grown up" jobs!


We are still requiring children and adults who are not vaccinated to wear a mask. This is in line with our church policy

For those not comfortable joining us in person, please use the information below to join our classroom virtually. We would love to see children on our classroom TV screen!

Youth Confirmation Retreat
Sunday, October 30 from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
 The youth confirmation retreat is for any child in 8th through 12th grade.
Confirmation is about a person making an adult decision to commit oneself to Christ and the Episcopal church. This decision is not to be taken lightly, and it requires a person to think seriously and intentionally about what they are committing themselves to.

There will be an information meeting for parents, youth and mentors on Sunday, September 11 at 3:30 p.m. at HJ’s.

If your child would like to participate in the youth confirmation retreat,
